Ozuna had hit safely in his first six big league games, which is tied for the second-longest streak by a player to begin his career with the Marlins. The string ended on Monday night at San Diego.

Alejandro De Aza set the club record by hitting in eight straight games in 2007.

In his first few games in the big leagues, Ozuna has already shown power, bat speed and patience at the plate.

"I saw him in Spring Training," Martinez said. "It's obvious he has all the tools. He has a quick bat, and obviously, he's a great defender and all that stuff. He has an idea of what he wants to do at the plate. He was a little bit over-aggressive, I'd say, in Spring Training.

"From the first day of Spring Training until today, he's made huge strides as far as really understanding every at-bat. He goes through the game plan. He knows what the pitcher has. He lays off on stuff that is out of the strike zone, which is very rare for young guys. He's been very impressive."
